How excited are you to decorate for Independence Day? We’re already getting our creative juices flowing with DIY 4th of July decorating ideas and have already started to dive in!
Few things pull Americans across the country together like the 4th of July weekend. Of course, everyone celebrates in their own way, but if you look in just about every backyard, you’ll see grills being prepared with stacks of hotdogs and hamburgers, and houses and businesses are all starting to show an awful lot of red, white, and blue bunting!
Now you may know that Laurie is actually Canadian but lives right near the border at Niagara Falls. And we soooo respect the way Americans truly celebrate and take pride in their country! We could all learn a thing or two about the patriotic spirit from y’all!
We love that decorating can begin with Memorial Day and carry right through to the 4th of July, building steadily week by week. And making your own festive decorations for the 4th of July is one of the best ways to get in the patriotic celebratory spirit.
But you might ask, why bother taking the time to make your own when you can head to a store to buy some patriotically appropriate festive decor?
Add Your Own Personal Star-Spangled Touches
Part of the problem with buying decorations is that they’re super impersonal and just very generic. Everyone has the same bunting, the same red, white, and blue balloons, the same Uncle Sam hat. But what if you want to put your own creative spin on things?
Well, that’s the beauty of DIY and where the wreath making community comes up with so many exceptional Pinterest-worthy ideas! If you have an idea for a unique piece of DIY home decor to celebrate the holiday, we definitely encourage you to run with it! So, break out those stars and stripes and start using your imagination!
A DIY Wreath Is the Best Way to Say “Happy 4th of July”
Over the years, we’ve made dozens and dozens of America-themed wreaths for both Memorial Day and July 4th. And all of them scream out a love of the good ol’ U.S.of A.!
Whether you’re having guests over on Independence Day or you just want to share your patriotic spirit with the neighbourhood, a wreath is a perfect fixture for your front door or placed on a pillar, post, or you can add several along a banister like bunting.
Homemade 4th of July Decorations Save Money
Let’s not forget that making your own decorations for Independence Day can be a real cost saver! With our wreath making system, you can use fewer materials to make outstanding finished pieces that, when purchased, would cost considerably more than the sum of its parts. Just another reason to love that DIY feeling!

DIY Decorations Become Family Heirlooms
Whether for Christmas, Easter, Halloween, or Independence Day, every family has decorations or ornaments that they love to break out, year after year. And often, those decorations are homemade.
When we make our own seasonal wreaths, wall hangings, and decorations, we form a strong attachment to them. For us, the patriotic holiday just wouldn’t feel right without a July-4th-themed wreath on your door. By going the DIY route, you’re creating memories you can carry with you, holiday after holiday. And those memories can often carry on with your children long after you’re gone.
Get The Kids Involved
Speaking of building memories with your kids, one of the best ways to spend quality time is by doing DIY activities together. So if you’re making a patriotic wreath for this July 4th, why not involve the kids? Yes, there are many things that go into wreath making that might currently be beyond their abilities, but there are still tons of ways they can contribute. Not only will it bring you closer with your kids or grandkids, but it will also help build some excitement for the big day!
